Have you heard of Mishcatt?

Costa Rican pop sensation with a voice full of color

Here’s a Costa Rican artist you should know if you don’t already - Michelle González, known as Mishcatt.

We were invited for a private session at Conquista Records with Mishcatt and other Costa Rican artists collaborating on Mishcatt’s ‘Johnny’.

Mishcatt is a well-known singer-songwriter and pop artist from San Jose, Costa Rica. She started writing songs at the age of 12 and soon realized that she had natural ability for translating and singing in various languages.

When she released her first EP, she quickly became the most played Costa Rican artist in the history of Spotify, getting more than 6 million plays in less than two months.

She’s now gone on to open for Coldplay in Costa Rica, and was invited to perform Avicii’s song “Fades Away” at his tribute concert in Stockholm in front of almost 60,000 people!

Watch the full interview below to learn more about how she grew up in a family of musicians, how she tackles creative/ writers blocks, and her advice for other aspiring artists.

Don’t miss the soothing ‘Johnny’ collaborative performance at the end!
